As attorney general, I can either look into it or I can ignore it because they're a bunch of powerful legislators... and I'm afraid they're going to cut my budget.

All I want to do is be the best attorney general that I can be.

As attorney general, I've had some connection with just about every important public issue in the last eight years in Kentucky. All of the important public issues of the day have, at some point.

I couldn't do that as attorney general. Why? Because they are my clients. You can't say they're not doing what they ought to be doing when you are the attorney general.

Running for attorney general troubled me. Because I was worried I would simply become just a figurehead and that's not me.

The attorney general couldn't be any more irrelevant to this process.
